About Olive Legal

Olive Legal is a family law firm in Ottawa, founded in 2013 by Selim James Levy. Levy started a mediation and conciliation practice in 2004, then spent 2008 and 2009 in Geneva, Switzerland, working with an international organization focused on eradicating child labour, before establishing Olive Legal. Levy holds a degree in mathematics and is a member of the Law Society of Ontario and the Barreau du Quebec.

The firm handles separations and divorces, parenting time and decision-making arrangements, cohabitation and marriage contracts, adoptions, and support and property matters. Olive Legal has a particular focus on private international law, including disputes over foreign property and cases involving the removal of a child to or from Canada. Its lawyers offer services in English, French, Italian, German, Spanish, and Mandarin, and the firm describes its approach as combining thoughtful use of technology with a personal, culturally aware practice.
